WHERE THE DlhrurR ARosg.
30 far as has been ascertained, no OBJ.
lection was made TO tho Hufllclency and
safety Of this clause until yesterday, when
the committee struck 1t out and inserted
In It's place the following: ms,
The agreement Of subscription shall
stipulats on behRlf Of the Wheeling 4
Harrisburg Railway Company aud its sue.
ceesora that any and every railroad hero.
toiore or hereafter constructed shall hayo
the right 10 connect its tracts with the
tracks Of tho Wheeling & Harrisburg Com.
pany and ALSO to use the tracks on said
bridge and terminals for tho Transports.
ton OF cars and locomotives upon such
terms az may be agreed upon between the
said company and tho Wheeling & Harris.
burg Railway Company or Its nucceBsorB
or upon tho award Of majority OF three
persona not Stockholders in either com.
psny, the frat TO be chosen by the said
company desiring to use the track, the
second by the Wheeling & Harrisburg
RAILROAD Company or its auccrBsors, and
the third by the two thus chosen.
This clause was the principle cause oil
the disagreement. Alter tho two ordi-
nances had been read, Mr.. cGregor, who
had arrived early Ia the proceedings, in
qulred for what reason the COMMITTEES in.
Sisted upon this change. Mr.. Jordan did
not assign any reason, nor did anybody
else on behalf OF the committee assign any
reason, though Mr.. Jordan did gay that
the language used by the committee In
tho provision concerning the union
feature Of the bridge was verbatim with
that In the city ordinance governing the
Plttsburgh, Wheeling 4 Kentucky Com.
pany'a tracks through the city on tho
river front. NJ :
The word Mitigation" as used in Judge
Cochran's proposed ordinance WAS alluded
to by MIR. Jordan as Objectionable, on the
ground that the Company might trump
up litigation for the purpose OF securing
delay. This point Judge Cochran an.
swered, saying that no such litigation
would be effective az trick to bring abou!
On extenaion Of time. The purpose was
to provide against possible contingencies,
such as an injunction by river men. HI
objected strenuously to the arbitration
provision. a, -
Mr.. LYNCH SPEAKS. Isl
When Judge Cochran concluded Mr..
Lynch, who has not before besn heard
from In public in the matter, made some
logical and torcible remarks Of the Judges
request. He said he spoke for himself
Individually and for Mr.. CLARK, aud he
could only say that If Mr.. CLARK went into
this thing, IS he would ii the people
voted the subscription on the basis pro.
posed by Judge Cochran, it would moi
take him four years to build tho bridge
nor anything like four years. But things
which human foresight! cannot foresee
might delay the work until the four years
we're nearly up, and then an adverse in.
teress might step in and by an injunction
stop tho work and annul the county't
subscription. 5ta2s
as to the committees proposal in re-
gard to the arbitration feature, Mr.. Lynch
said no WAS Satisfied that 1t would not be
accepted by Mr.. CLARK, becsueo he (Lynch
could not eonscientiously recommend Mr.,
CLARK to put his money into tho projec,
with that provision. The 'sunion'' clause
as proposed by Judge Cochran vss much
more safe and absolutely secured that fea.
ture, while the committee's proposal did
not. Tho Pewiky case, he pointed out
was not parallel. That roads union
track wsn a side issue, and tina. Of the
Bridge Company would DO ita whole bus.
iness, and its very lie would be placed In
the hands Of three arbtrators. he was
confident that no capitalist would nut his
money into tho scheme as proposed by tho
committee. ,t.'s..-, -
